Renewed December 9, 1912. Serial No, 735,843.

To all whom, it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN C. Pam, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ames, in the county of San Miguel and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door- Hangers; and I do hereby declare the-following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as Will enable. others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. This invention relates to an improved track for doors and the like, and has for an object the construction and arrangement of a track designed to prevent rain and foreign matter from contacting with the bearing part or surface of the track, but always permitting a free movement of the rollers or movable carriage connected therewith, and the door connected with the rollers or carriage. A

A further object of the invention more specifically is the arrangement of a tubular track formed. with a flange, preferably err-- tending the full length thereof, and with a slot, the track being associated with an antifriction device secured to the door.

With these and other objects in view the invention comprises certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangement of scribed and claimed.

- invention is so designed as to fit over the bent in tubular tubular track and carrya split ball adapted to engage the lower inner surface of the tube. I

- In order that the invention may be more clearly understood an embodiment of the same isshown in the drawings, in which the numeral 10 designates a door or similar structure, arranged to close an opening in the side of the structure represented by 11. The structure 11 is provided with parallel guideways '12 and 13, formed of sheet metal form, the edges of the sheet ,lar flange formation,

metal being spaced apart leaving a slot running lengthwise of the tube. One edge of each of the guideways 12 and-13 is bent to fasten it' to the door-l0 and has a projectmg arm 18 perforated near its end extending through the slot into the tubular guideway. a

The lower hanger has a curved arm 20 formed with a. cleat 17 to fasten it to the door 10, said arm :0 being bent to extend about the lower tubular guideway, and a reentrant portion 21 extending through the slot into the lower tubular guideway. A hemispherical ball 19 is provided with a threaded shank 19 which extendsthrough an opening in the end of the reentrant portion 21 of'the' hanger arm 20, and a similar hemispherical ball is provided with a central threaded opening by which it is screwed onto the portion of the threaded shank 19' extending through'the opening. The spherical surfaces bear against the inner surface of the tubular guideway 13 adjacent to the slot, and sustain the weight thrown on the hanger arm 20. It will be understood that the invention is not limited to this particusince the flange forms no part of the invention.

It will be apparent that a track hung in the manner set forth will prevent snow,

rain, or any foreign matter from entering through the slot therein What I claim is In a door hanger comprising a tubular track being formed with an integral flange throughout the entire length thereof, a carriage adapted to move in said track, a stand ard depending therefrom, said standard being bent from apoint of clearance below said track around and above said track on the free side thereof, said standard flaring into a plate adapted to be secured'to a door which is adapted to move longitudinally above said track.-

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
